Dermot Kennedy - Reflections: Part 1 

People need to stop sleeping on him. He's brilliant.

Absolutely mad how talented & well rounded this man is. 💚🇮🇪

dermot’s music means more to me than anything i’ve ever heard. to hear the story behind it, in such detail, truly means so much dermot. thank you so much. no one does it quite like you

Dermot makes Me so proud to be Irish He not only has that raw gritty Irishness to the core But he has depth and soul and his lyrics and writing skills are Amazing He is a true Artist

Lost my Mum in 2019, and found you! Bro, you pulled me through some hard times, THANK YOU!!!

Thank You for being You Dermot, Your music goes deep... I can feel it! I absolutely love your music.

Dermot and his gutair is my favorite, it's like a more personal level, it's so different, all he does is absolutely amazing!!

Being a part of selling out Red Rocks for him is so magical to me. I remember being at work and looking at the clock and jumping onto the internet to get those tickets. It was something I truly knew I couldn’t miss within my soul and I’m glad we share that moment in history fondly.

I am one who went to your gig for the first time, only knowing a couple of songs and I felt SOOO connected with the music, lyrics and incredible voice that 4 mos after I am still listening to your songs EVERY single day. Really cool insight into your process. Never change Dermot!!!! You stand out in this over saturated music biz because you do you. 👏👏❤❤❤

This man deserves every ounce of success, his music, writing ability and power to convey feeling in his voice has touched so many. My wife and I came to see you play in Brighton in December last year and it was just so amazing to be in the presence of his voice and his band playing. I was so concerned about his voice this year and remember that time he is talking about in the video. I'm glad he got the help he so needed! Dermot, we havent stopped playing your music for 2 whole years, I think it's the longest I've been that obsessed over just one artist. The song, without fear is just incredible and I feel so so bad for any person who still hasn't heard it, this song will always be my number one song from you. Can't wait to be able to see you again. Please do many small shows in small towns rather than a few big shows in the typical places, London, Birmingham etc as big shows ruin the intimacy people have with your music. Stay safe!

I am in Zimbabwe Africa. .. and we are loving the music

Just listening to the first few minutes of this. It makes so much more sense why I resonate so much to your music. Grief is a part of our lives. Hope is always there within our grasp. Much love Dermot!

It's refreshing to hear someone talk positively about themselves and know their worth.

12:33 - My favourite part of the whole album, it really is the pinnacle and the perfect ending. "Now I really think you're heaven sent, cause you've been forcing all these hollow hearts to feel again, Now I really think you're heaven sent, there's a beauty in being broken I've been seeing it" The lyrics that meant the most to me and nice to hear it's one of his favourites too.

I love how humble, open & candid he is. I hope he never changes.

One of the best solo artist from Ireland,plus he doesn’t forget where he came from 💕

Seriously talented, educated and down to earth legend ❤️ you make us so proud to be Irish ☘️🇮🇪

If he doesn't get a Grammy or 7 I'll truly be surprised. Dermot's music to me is like listening to a symphony. There's just so much beauty!It's so cool to see the back story. Freaking love the IRISH! 🇮🇪 You represent the best storytellers well. Well Done.

Such a deep and profound young man! He always sings and talks from the heart ❤ So sincere in every song he writes. Just amazing!

I remember first being introduced to Dermot from an artist radio station on Spotify and ‘After Rain’ was the first song I ever heard from and now he’s my go-to feel good artist to listen to ALWAYS 🇮🇪

We're all here for you Dermot, just like you've been there for us when the times were tough, and we didn't see a way out. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Your music saves lives.

Love his writing ability to make you get lost in his words and pulling you into his emotionally deep moments, parallel to your own.

His music can literally touch your soul.

I like your mixture of being serious and not taking yourself too seriously. Genuine, open, not being too self- assure, I love you as well as I love your songs.

I’ve not long heard of dermot and he’s on my playlist now everyday 😀😀

His music really resembles his personality! So genuine!!

I think I’ve been watching Dermot grow as a musician now for about 2-3 years (I can’t remember exactly but it’s been a moment) & I have to say he is a force to be reckoned with. The style & versatility of his music, his lyrics, voice, everything is something truly special. I can’t resonate with each one of his songs and I can not wait until my friends and I can watch him perform August 2021 in Grand Rapids, MI.

Hearing him describe the process seems so simple yet his music is soo goddam profound and meaningful.

He can write. His phrasing in the lyrics and the music is just phenomenal. Not many people on earth that can do what he is doing. The acoustic stuff he is doing live is amazing

My favourite artist of all time without fear & complete version is the best album on earth, this man is truly iconic & so is his music, songwriting, artistry, and distinct one of a kind voice, I love his music

I could listen to you speak for days

The only artist that literally speaks to my soul. Saw him live last February in NC and it changed my life ❤️

Hey Dermot, You are a gift to the world 🌍❤️ Your talent is a bliss. Your passion is undoubtedly impressive. Thank you Mr Kennedy Sincerely from South Africa 🇿🇦

I am so glad that I was able to see him perform this album live. It was such an emotional roller coaster that night....I cried, I laughed, I felt alive!

When I listened to Power over me the first time I instantly clicked with your music style. 2020 has been a year of loses and lessons for me. But your music has been there to remind me that you need to live your life without fear. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

What a wonderful human. Such a gifted man. Bless his heart. May he live long and prosper 🖖

This man is one of the best singers. He knows and understands what he is doing very well. All the best.

Keeping listening to you.. your Parents must be BURSTING with pride.. Big time!

Ugh. I just don’t have the words. His music is SOO good. So real. Hits me in ALL the feels.

I can't wait for the next album. Absolutely love without fear. So talented. So grounded. Such a superstar. The album is 5/5

refreshing to have an artist like him who has true meaning in his songs!

Dermot blew me away with Power Over Me and Outnumbered....lookin forward to more music

From Kigali, Rwanda Enjoying without fear everyday the whole year now!

So much resonance, it makes my soul ache in the best way. Thank you Dermot.

Dermot, it is hard to properly describe what your music has done for me. When I listen to this album, it generates an almost euphoric-like feeling that gives me a sense of home within myself. Xx you are truly amazing and thank you for being authentically you

My mother was diagnosed with cancer in early 2018, and not long after i discovered 'After Rain' and felt immense comfort. Since then your music has been everything to me and absolutely most listened to for a long time now. I really love this album reflection, gives the music more meaning, thank you for amazing music. 🖤

It SERIOUSLY just boggles my mind how he’s not MUUUUCH bigger because god only know how much he deserves the recognition. I love this video and love your music Dermot, much love ❤️

The album just talked to me, it felt so authentic and heartfelt. It is reflected in that interview. Without fear is dark, powerful and beautiful !!! Absolutely love it!

Every song this man sings hits me on so many levels. I am a self admitted music-aholic and I have NEVER been able to say I had a favorite until I found this voice and lyrics. So much respect for him and his talent 🖤 I need 2021 to be kind so the show in Michigan actually happens!! Edit: 7:33- mission accomplished 🖤

It’s funny how you can put into words how I feel about life in your songs and now how I feel about your songs in this interview!!

Your music has a beautiful poetic complexity, the balance between deep darkness and the hope and the light that you found in your struggle really comes through. I have been going through similar things recently and your lyrics really speak to me and resonate. Thank you for sharing your gifts Dermot

To hear you reflect on the details of the album is quite a treat. Thank you for everything you share of yourself with the rest of us, DK 🤗💜

it was so refreshing to hear you talk about your music in this way. your words hold so much power, and it shows in the way you express yourself as well as in your music. we appreciate you, we appreciate your words and thoughts, and all that you are dermot. keep creating, keep writing. you are an incredible artist and it shows

Deep deep explosion ofemotions in every your song! Youre living every your song and as you are singing about state of my soul and heart now! I really find myself in in those powerfull words of lyrics! Its pure poetry of a heart! Like we were song in the silence! Bravo! Respect from Europe,Slovenija!

Literally obsessed with this man. His music and words has helped me. I found him over a year ago and his music has carried me through many things. Especially my brothers brother's suicide. I'm thankful to have his voice and poetry to be such a big part of my life.

I’m loving the confidence in this interview. You were patient Dermot and you deserve all of this success. Your music is truly moving and enthralling and all of the big words one can use to describe something so incredible. Keep going, you deserve it all !!

This album and his music in general is everything to me and so many others

This was the 1st album I actually wanted to buy in over 10 years after only hearing 2 songs!! It has been played on repeat frequently. So many times I have gone to sleep or woken with lyrics stuck in my head. Thank you for sharing it with us 🥰

Ugh the bag pipes for sure!! The most beautiful wedding i ever been to was Scottish themed and with kelts and bagpipes! I was so young and dreamed of a wedding like that! But yes the bagpipes are absolutely fantastic 💯

We “like” absolutely admire you man

As you grow, I hope you continue to stay as incredibly grounded as you are. It makes me so proud to be a fan of you and your talent and all the people you touch in the world with your music and words.

Sending love from Delaware USA 🎶 BRAVO to one of the most brilliant writers and voices ! Chills , tears and smiles ❤️

I love when artists give the background to their music. To me, it always adds a depth that I couldn't necessarily just get from the song by itself. For example, i thought I new what Lost was about and I loved it by itself, then I saw the music video and it brought a whole new bigger meaning to it. That song is now one of my faves on the album. Grateful to watch these next 3 videos and maybe find a new new fave 🙏

Amen Dermot... We are built by the layers of rubble on which we stand. .... Truly cannot appreciate anything without having survived loss.. keep being you. Your journey is blessed 💖.

His music is great

I really love Dermot Kennedy❤🌻❤. His the first artist that i have ever invested my time and so much energy on😏and I'm not regretting it😚

i love him so much!!! 😫

Amazing! Love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷♥️

i’m so proud of you🥺🥺🥺

Not only that I relate to his lyrics but man what he’s saying too ! I’m a serious and silly person at the same time I have the darkest thoughts sometimes yet I’m always throwing sarcastic comments and not taking life too seriously if that makes sense, I went through a lot of dark times that will always be a part of me but that grief and that pain I went through is beautiful in a way because it made me who I am today and I’m so grateful to hear songs and say omg I relate 💙

Thank u so much you've helped me get through dark times and u must have gone through a lot of things in your life to make these songs to sound so personal all I have to say is all the darkness I face music is the light that helps Me get through it especially hours thank u so much. :(

I love you dermot! Your music brings me to tears, makes me happy, feel like life will be OK and it's OK to let go of the past heartache. It's beautiful ♥️♥️ THANK YOU ♥️😘

Music should make you feel something, something real. And it's fair to say that I can really feel all the emotions through your music and believe it. That's a rare quality and that's why I adore you so much.

What a talented and real, down to earth musician, capable of expressing for the collective. Respect.

He's music is magical ✨ light in the darkness ✨

Your music is helping me heal a broken heart 💔 so I thank you 🙏

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Most underrated artist 😣❤️

I love his music because of it’s uniqueness and every song is somehow perfectly instrumented and shows pure emotion. No artist I’ve ever listened to truly expresses himself the way this man does 💕

Aw this is why we all love you so much, just a genuine, humble, beautifully talented human 💖

I’ve been through some shit myself and you’ve always been there to help! I agree you’re „an anomaly” - a unique, beautiful one, who can help so many people with your music. Looking forward to seeing you live again, when the world comes back to normal! Thank you!❤️

This mannnnn 🥺🥺 HE JUST NEEDS TO BE APPRECIATEDDDDDD

Wow. How put together is this guy. His music now makes so much sense. Thank you Dermot for your wonderful music.

💜I love your work! Thank you so much for make my days better! Make smile and sing in my worst days. Love from Portugal. 💜

Apparently I'm in the 0.05% of Dermot's listeners on Spotify. I'm honored. The music he makes is so meaningful. I love it. Can't wait until my crew neck comes in the mail and the CD so I can blast it in the car!

Keep doing you bro. Don't change a thing for anybody.

Your lyrics resonates with me more than you can imagine! And getting to know the story behind your songs is a blessing. Can't wait for more videos like this one, and for more of your songs of course. Stay committed to the path you're on. Best from 🇫🇷

yess ''so much emotions can live in music''...

You are absolutely fabulous such an incredible artist such a beautiful voice thanku so much love and god bless x

Watching you from a young boy, to a man. What an incredible journey.

I feel incredibly lucky to be inspired by such a brillant and real musician. From the lyricism, to the dynamic and direction in each song, to the heart and rawness behind it. Class act, thank you Dermot!

Love his voice it just give me chills 😩Gods perfection in a sound 🤞🏾❤️

I'm invested now. Can't wait for the rest of this series!

17:25 - "He annoyed us so we put him in the fridge" 😂😂😂😂 the way you said that so casually.

I feel chills in my spine whenever you take the high emotional pitch. Got you constantly on Deezer!!

Without fear means the world to me!!

Amazing giving us a look into where your album has come from. It's fantastic you have a wonderful heartfelt talent 💚💚💚

Pure talent right there⭐

This man is a God!!! I really do hope I get to see him next year in concert because his music is amazing and it really connects with me on a personal level especially now because recently me and my girlfriend broke up and I can feel the emotion in his song even more now! You're a good man Dermot, keep up the amazing work! P.S you were my most streamed artist on Spotify, I'm in your top 0.01% of listeners when you started off and my most streamed song was Power Over Me which I listened to 153 times this year and I listened to Giants on Spotify before it got 50,000 streams. Maybe get me a back stage pass or something at your next concert if you can😉, because I'd absolutely lovvvvvveeee to meet you in person.

Need a collaboration with Dermot and Lewis Capaldi ❤️
